Daly Trashes Gascón. City Yawns.

Increasingly irrelevent supervisor Chris Daly has apparently hit on a plan of action for the remaining months of his term. He’s going to offer up offbeat, grandstanding rants at the Board of Supervisors meeetings.

If only Chris Daly had gotten one of these from the police chief everything would have been fine.

Last week he cast the only vote against a $412 million earthquake safety bond measure because it didn’t include jail inmates.

“I care more about the people at the jail, the people who are there involuntarily, if we have a seismic incident, than I do about the rest of the people at 850 Bryant,” Daly said.

This week it was a long rant on popular new police Chief George Gascón. Gascón’s offense? He didn’t invite Daly to meet with him. Or maybe he did, but there isn’t a record of it. Anyhow, it was terrible because Gascón said he did.

“This guy is lying and perjuring himself in the press,” Daly said. “He is a loose cannon, out on his own.”

Really? That’s the problem in a budget crisis of over $522 million? Who invited whom to a meeting?

Things went downhill from there. It almost sounded as if he was concerned that Gascón is getting too popular.

“This guy, collegues, my progressive collegues,” Daly said, “is out of control. And I think it is high time that we talk to Chief Gascón about San Francisco values.”

Daly, of course, will be speaking from Fairfield, where he moved his family back in July.
